THE CURRICULUM

The program is delivered in two modes:

  1. Bi-monthly In-person or virtual sessions with the group of participants.

  2. Bi-monthly phone or virtual calls to each participant to monitor progress and answer any questions.  These calls take place on the off-months between the group sessions.
